A shopper has hit out at 'disgusting' bargain hunters putting their health and that of supermarket staff at risk by crowding around the discounted aisles.

Stephanie Keenan was horrified to watch shoppers hunting out the reduced items at Asda in Durker, Wakefield.

She said a staff member was trying to mark down items as reduced when shoppers surrounded him and ignored the 2m rule.

Stephanie said the whole experience left her heartbroken and she can not understand why people put savings before safety.

She said: "It sickens me.

"My hat goes off to shop workers having to put up with such people ... I’m one of the lucky ones to be working from home, unfortunately supermarket workers don’t have that same luxury.

"To have a disregard for a human beings over grabbing a box of mushrooms marked down to 10p is horrendous to say the least. People like that obviously have a total disregard for the value of someone’s life.

"The disregard for the staff .. this poor worker was trying to mark down the fruit and veg in the aisle while 5-10 shoppers surrounded the trolley encroaching on his personal space let alone disregarding the 2m distancing rule ..

"Women in there with 2 shopping trolleys grabbing stuff off him whilst he was reducing it.

"I know you can educate stupid but I’m fuming ... I reported the incident to security as it was better than me making a scene !! Asda staff deserve a medal if that’s the kind of treatment they are getting everyday from the great Wakefield public !"

She said the store did everything they could to stop them and reacted well once she alerted them to the issue.
